Zimbali Info
At Zimbali Coastal Resort ours is a gentle style of management taken from Nature’s example:
We fit into the environment: the environment does not fit into us.
The Resort is located in one of South Africa’s prime coastal Nature Reserves where life is tranquil and definitely not in the fast lane! In fact, traffic within its borders is limited to 25 kms per hour to maintain the tranquillity and ensure the safety of our owners, our guests, our animals and our birds.
The residential areas of the Zimbali Coastal Resort consist of two Estates; namely the Coastal Forest Estate which includes the Beach Estate, and the Golf Course Estate. On completion, the whole Resort will be home to some 1000 families.
The breathtaking natural beauty of sub-tropical Zimbali reaches into the heartland of KwaZulu-Natal from an unspoiled, 3.5km stretch of rugged coastline.

A bird’s eye view of the 456 hectare Estate sweeps inland from the secluded beach and sand dunes, along the floor of the Zimbali Valley, across dense indigenous forests, the crystal clear waters of natural springs and a sparkling lake, over the 18 hole world class signature golf course, and beyond … the rolling greenery of fields and hills, and the lush richness of sugar cane plantations.
This unique estate, which incorporates one of the three remaining coastal forests in KwaZulu-Natal, harbours a wealth of natural water and is rich in plant life and bird and animal wildlife.
The Zimbali Coastal Resort consists of one of the finest Coastal Residential Estates in Southern Africa affording a unique and secure high quality living environment that preserves and enhances the existing natural eco-system of the area.

The 5 Star Fairmont Zimbali Resort and Fairmont Zimbali Lodge provides world-class facilities and cuisine and a tempting retreat in an unspoilt sanctuary for discerning guests the world over and the Zimbali Country Club provides members with a sports and social club and proudly embodying a premier Tom Weiskopf designed 18-hole signature golf course amongst its other facilities.
An electrified perimeter fence securely bounds the entire Zimbali Coastal Resort.
The Residential Estate, the Zimbali Lodge and the Zimbali Country Club provide residents with a wide range of facilities suited to a broad age spectrum – a relaxed and tranquil quality of life and a resort of international standing.
